Custom GPTs & RAG Systems
Learn to build AI systems that answer from YOUR data — not guesses. Master the complete pipeline: prompt design, embeddings, vector search, retrieval optimization, hallucination prevention, and production deployment.
-
Episode 0: Custom GPTs & RAG Systems- Introduction
Meet the scenario, the roadmap, and the nine skills you'll walk away with after building a complete RAG system from scratch.
-
Episode 1: From General AI to Custom GPT Systems
Discover why ChatGPT makes things up and learn when to use prompt engineering, RAG, or fine-tuning for your use case.
-
Episode 2: Prompting as System Design
Design system prompts that control AI behavior — including guardrails, refusal patterns, and structured output templates that enforce reliability.
-
Episode 3: Embeddings & Semantic Understanding
Learn how embedding models turn text into meaning-numbers so your AI finds the right document even when users use different words.
-
Episode 4: Vector Databases, Chunking & Retrieval
Build the knowledge infrastructure — vector storage, document chunking strategies, and metadata filtering for precise semantic search at scale.
-
Episode 5: The RAG Pipeline - Architecture & Data Flow
Wire the complete retrieval-augmented generation pipeline end to end and trace a user query through every stage from input to cited response.
-
Episode 6: Retrieval Strategies & Context Management
Optimize retrieval with re-ranking, hybrid search, and context window management so your AI assembles the best possible answer every time.
-
Episode 7: Understanding & Preventing Hallucinations
Classify the three types of AI hallucination, diagnose their root causes, and build a five-layer prevention stack to stop them.
-
Episode 8: Grounding, Evaluation & Building Trust
Build evaluation datasets, measure retrieval and answer quality with real metrics, and engineer user trust through citations and transparency.
-
Episode 9: Deployment & Operations
Take your RAG system to production with knowledge update pipelines, monitoring dashboards, cost management, and incident response planning.
-
Episode 10: Governance, Security & Scaling
Add access controls, audit logging, and compliance infrastructure — then scale across domains, tenants, and languages responsibly.
